Medicham (Mega)

Mega Medicham is a Fighting and Psychic type Mega Raid boss. Best Mega Medicham raid counters include powerful Fairy, Flying and Ghost types, with a mixed range of different counters available to help you defeat it.

Depending on your levels and counters, we would recommend 3-5 trainers who are high level, and more if you don’t have optimal teams. This guide will tell you how to beat this monk-like Mega, as well as its optimal stats, moves and CP range.

Mega Medicham Counters

Since Shadow Pokémon are extremely expensive to power up and require specific events to remove Frustration with a Charge TM, they will NOT be listed as raid counters in this article. That being said, if you have the shadow form of a listed raid counter Pokémon powered up and TMed, use it.

Let’s check out the top raid counters for Mega Medicham:

Mega Medicham Moveset

Fast Moves Charge Moves
  • Psycho Cut Psychic
  • Counter Fighting
  • Dynamic Punch Fighting
  • Ice Punch Ice
  • Psychic Psychic
  • Power-Up Punch Fighting

None of Mega Medicham’s moves should give you too much trouble, just be weary of any dual Dark types against the Fighting moves.

How to Get Mega Medicham

You cannot catch Medicham in its mega evolved form from the raid. The mega raid boss is always catchable in its base form and as such, the CP ranges are for a regular Medicham.

Medicham can be caught with the following CP values:

  • 764 – 817 CP no weather boost
  • 994 – 1226 CP boosted by Windy and Cloudy weather boost

In order to get Mega Medicham you will need 100 Mega Energy for the initial evolution, then 20 Mega Energy to evolve the same Medicham again in the future. If you wait for their ‘cooldown’ period to end, Mega Evolution is free. This cooldown period is shorter the higher mega level your Mega Pokémon is. Mega Energy can be obtained via Mega Medicham Raids, and once you have evolved Mega Medicham, you can earn 10 Mega Energy per candy while walking it as your buddy. You can walk any Meditite or Medicham to earn Mega Energy, as long as you have previously evolved one to register it to your Mega Pokédex.

Shiny Medicham

Like all Mega Raid Bosses, you can catch the shiny version of Medicham from a raid. It will now also be available in the wild.

Conclusion

Sadly Mega Medicham isn’t going to make many (psychic) waves, as either a Psychic type attacker, or a Fighting type attacker. It may be handy to use to boost other trainers Psychic and Fighting types in raids as a back up option to the likes of Mega Alakazam and Mega Lopunny, but there are better options available.
